I look forward to it. (Seriously)

Multiviews are content negotiation. You create index.php.en,  
index.php.es, and index.php.fr, and Apache will pick the best one  
based on the Accept-Language header from the browser, or using the  
"prefer-language" environment variable. You can also use content  
negotiation to pick among different formats. For example, your image  
could be available as image.jpg, image.gif, and image.png and then let  
Apache pick the best one based on the browser preferences.

I suppose you don't translate filenames? E.g. /contact.php forwards  
to /pt/contato.php for a Portuguese speaker?
